Get into a car accident and win a free pair of tickets to see “The Producers.”

At least that’s what happened to a New Jersey man who was duped into coming to New York in an unsuccessful bid to serve him with a lawsuit stemming from a car crash.

The accident happened on Sept. 13, 2003, when Staten Island resident Anna Maydanik was riding in a car being driven by New Jerseyan Jason Cieri.

The pair was in Fairfax County, Va., when Cieri’s car collided with a Virginia man’s, causing Maydanik “serious personal injuries,” court papers say.

Maydanik filed suit against Cieri in July of last year.

His lawyers countered the suit should be thrown out on a technicality – that since the accident happened in Virginia and he lives in Jersey, Maydanik couldn’t file suit against him in New York.

Weeks later, “two free tickets to the play ‘The Producers’ . . . was sent to Jason Cieri’s residence,” along with a letter supposedly from “Telecharge.com” that “stated that he had been randomly selected to attend this production on Nov. 26, 2005.”

Cieri took his girlfriend with him to the smash show about an unsuccessful scam – and when they got up to leave, they were followed out by a “man who sat next to them during the play,” the court papers say.

“Immediately upon Jason Cieri’s exit from the theater the man attempted to serve him with process,” the papers say. “Not knowing who this man was or what he was doing, Jason Cieri did not take the papers and walked away from him.”

His lawyers then moved to have the case thrown out, arguing Cieri had never been served, and Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Anthony Giacobbe agreed.

While an out-of-state resident can be served with a New York lawsuit anywhere in the state, the judge agreed with Cieri’s lawyers that he was improperly lured in with “fraud and deceit.”

“It is well established that service obtained through trickery or deceit will not be countenanced,” Giacobbe wrote in a decision made public yesterday.

Maydanik’s lawyer denied any knowledge of the scam, and pinned the blame for the ruse on the process server. The judge said “their claim of ignorance” about the process server’s scheme was irrelevant, and he threw the suit out – presumably leaving the process server on the hook for the price of Cieri’s tickets.

Lawyers for Maydanik and Cieri didn’t return calls for comment. Giacobbe’s decision did not detail her injuries or the amount her suit was seeking in damages.

Maydanik’s suit also named the Virginia driver, but her claims against him were also dismissed because of jurisdictional issues.
